FAQs

  • Cancellations at least 60 days in advance of the booking are fully refundable minus a $200 cancellation fee. After 60 days we are able to offer refunds only if we resell the rooms for the dates of the original booking.

    We understand that life happens, but if you need to cancel please give us as much notice as possible!

  • Check in time at The Lodge is daily from 3:00pm-5:00pm.

    Please consider this two-hour window when making any additional travel plans and reservations, particularly when arriving in the area on the same day. In consideration of creating an awesome guest experience, we ask that our guests check in between 3:00pm and 5:00pm. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate arrivals after 5:00 pm.

  • Everything you need to fully immerse yourself in the world-class nature! You will likely have your favourite hiking attire; long pants, shorts, etc… However, we think it is always helpful to have a reminder of a few things.

    We suggest:

    i. A waterproof and Breathable jacket

    ii. A fleece layer

    iii. Your favourite toque (never leave home without it)

    iv. Hiking boots or Trail shoes

    v. A water bottle

    vi. Hiking poles

    (A note about water bottles: we encourage you to bring a water bottle as we do not sell water in plastic bottles. We do however have some wonderful water bottles for sale at The Lodge that will make a great addition to your pack and serve as a reminder of your trip to The Lodge.)
